How to Make Simple Popovers

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter until light and frothy.
Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. A few lumps are okay; don't overmix!
Grease a 12-cup muffin tin generously with butter or cooking spray.
Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full. (Don't worry about being precise!)
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven.
Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the popovers are puffed and golden brown. Resist the urge to open the oven door during baking!
Carefully remove the popovers from the oven and let them cool slightly in the tin before serving. Enjoy!
